T2 is almost ONE!!!

30 Jul 2010 In: My new baby girl

Can you believe it? I can’t…..Her birthday is in a few days and this busy, disorganised Mommy has not planned a single thing for a birthday party. How? Che-Che had nice birthday parties every year……

I guess things are just going to have to be a little different!

Can you tell who’s who? One of them is T1, the other T2…..I actually have photos of the 2 of them in similar poses and outfits but I don’t have time to go looking for them.

I am severely pissed and deeply saddened. This is our 3rd encounter with disappointment over this air carrier. The 1st was when they broke T1’s stroller and only compensated us RM200 when it cost RM800 to buy a new stroller. The 2nd was when my cousin came down from Australia with tons of Ski Yogurt for Mom (and this was so important because Mom lives on this yogurt as she can hardly eat due to her cancer) and chocolate for us, and his baggage went missing, only to be found 5 days later in India. Needless to say, all the yogurt had gone bad and our chocs were in bad shape. Now, my sister-in-law, first and foremost flies MAS for the 1st time ever and books it from the US using a credit card that she never uses except for holidays, and voila, guess what happened?

When she was paying for her air ticket, MAS asked her for a photocopy of her credit card on both sides and she said, why would you need that? They gave her some reason, then they asked her for her 3 digit number (you know the last 3 digits on your credit card?), and without thinking as she was so harrassed that it was sooooooo difficult to purchase a ticket from MAS, she gave it to them. In a matter of hours, her credit card company called her to verify that her card was being used overseas big time and her card had to be cancelled immediately.

So she’s finally arrived in Malaysia and guess what? Ding-dong-ding-dong!!!! Her baggage is missing. I am PISSED because in that bag, was a request for a few tins of Godiva hot chocolate. In that bag, was all the stuff that we’d requested for her to buy that we couldn’t get here. In that bag, were Nike shoes for my Mother-in-Law, in that bag were cowboy boots that was being transported back for one of the Hubs’ colleagues……the list goes on.

I am so sad and disappointed that this is my home airline. Can all this not be avoided? Really? There are just too many cronies out there and it pisses me off!

Designing website themes

29 Jul 2010 In: My Thoughts & Opinions, Oh Shit!!!

Theme designers should always do a print screen of their designed themes and then co-relate it to the html style sheet so bloggers like me (the dumb ones) can re-style it to suit our moods. And right now, I’m in a pretty foul mood.

This is how T1 does her homework. No amount of telling off will change anything.

Wherever I can, I’d make use of the kids for some free child labour. It certainly gets things going faster, never mind about the mess. The Hubs will take care of that!

Yesterday, I got T1 to peel a whole bunch of French Beans and T2, of course had to participate. She held one, put it into her mouth, bit a chunk off, then threw the stick away. Then she turned towards the green drawers and opened it. She tried climbing up to see what was in it but her butt was stuck in Bumbo. Yay, Bumbo!

What about you? Do you squeeze child labour out of your kids?

Another of T1’s sketches….

There is a fruit river below, a juice blender for pureeing (I assume that would be for T2, haha), a lollipop orchard (she wishes!), flower friends on the top left, and an enclosure of some sort top right with various animals in them. Errr……the cow has stars on it. Who knows what that swirly bit is bottom right? I’ll assume it’s a playground. All this is titled, Tessa’s World.

Frantically working my ass off

Because the Hubs officially lost his job today. The good news? He’ll be staying home with us as of this Friday. I have a new Nanny!!!

But no money.

We’re cracking our heads thinking of what to do next. We have high expenses. *taps fingers together*

Let’s see how many ‘friends’ of ours runnnnnnnn…….. far, far???

Ideas anyone?

It has only been like yesterday since we got discharged from hospital but since last Friday, T1 came home with a tummy ache and then the runs and then consecutive runs for 3 entire days. My immediate reaction was CANTEEN FOOD! But her other classmates were OK. So back to the hospital we went when she started having a fever. At the rate she gets hospitalised, we will soon be needing the Blue Advantage Health Plan as all these hospital bills are costing us quite a bit of money!

T2 has 2 toys on her high chair table - a Fischer-Price activity block and a disposable water plastic cup free from Poh Kong.

I take away the block. Nothing. I take away the cup. This happens…..

who-needs-toys-1

Mmmm…….in annoyance.

who-needs-toys-2

Hey, Mama. Enough. Now give me back my toy.

who-needs-toys-3

I SAID GIVE ME BACK MY TOY!!! I WANT IT BACK NOW!!!

Conclusion? Fischer-Price - 0, Yee Keong Fountain Water - 1

Who is Mamapumpkin?

Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

This blog is about me, Mamapumpkin. A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......

I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).

My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.

Gotta love it.
